The Los Angeles Rams' failure to score a touchdown in Super Bowl LIII earned one Las Vegas gambler a massive payday. The gambler placed a $250 bet that the second-best offensive team in the NFL would only manage a single field goal against the New England Patriots. The wager had 400-1 odds and when the game ended, the gambler walked away with $100,000. The bettor was likely holding his breath as the Rams attempted a 48-yard field goal with just eight seconds left. Greg Zuerlein pulled the ball wide left, securing the New England Patriot's sixth Super Bowl championship, and a nice payout for the man who placed the bet.

Sunday's game was the lowest scoring Super Bowl in history with the New England Patriots winning the defensive battle 13-3. The first and only touchdown of the game came late in the 4th quarter.
